Picture book.  A cute book for the youngest of readers, this celebration of toddlerhood would be perfect for a baby or 2s/3s storytime.  It is told in rhyme, with made up words allowed "peachy peary noodles in your hair-y".  Some pages have an actual sentence while others have a set of rhyming words without punctuation.  There are a lot of bright, colorful illustrations that feature multiple skintones and a wheelchair.  A cute, happy book.

 This is a look at many different children and how they spend their day.  The rhymes work, but the cadence drops in many places.  However, with the bright and colorful illustration and the almost nonsense words, children are sure to love this and ask for it to be read over and over again.
